The combination of API routes and data loading functions

I have been trying out integrating my existing API routes with 
cache
 and 
action
 deploying to cloudflare.
The goal is to have the benefit of 1) preloading route data 2) having an open API 3) and being able to easily log API accesses.
The examples with SS seem to want you to utilize server functions which would not be an open API and (I dunno) how I would log properly

If I call 
fetch
 to an API route inside 
cache
 with no 
use server
 then it can be called on either client or server
I need cookies/credentials, so calling on client is good because the browser will pass them, but on server there is no credentials and CF errors
I can utilize 
use server
 to make each call a server function that calls an API route, then extract the headers from the event and wire into the 
fetch
 to make it as close as possible as if I called the API route from the browser

But this seems very non-ergonomic.. It seems as though deciding to use 
cache
 and 
action
 means not having a good time with API routes, and instead opting to using only server functions
